My Top Restaurant Recommendations

Marilyn Williams’s and Her Foodie Friends Top Restaurant Recommendations

　

Number One!!! Bruges Waffles (prounounced "brusch) and Pommes Frites- 336 West Broadway -European waffles with fresh fruit and creme fraiche or vanilla bean ice cream (the waffles are raised with Belgium pearlized sugar kneaded inside) The pommes frites (french fries) are European style with dipping sauces. (Voted Best of Utah Best Fries 2011 and 2012) My favorite dipping sauce is the Andalouse.

2. Red Iguana- 736 W. North Temple- best authentic Mexican food/homemade mole

3. Lone Star Taqueria- best fish taco- 2265 E. Fort Union Midvale

4. The Copper Onion- 111 East Broadway Ste. 170 food meant to be shared

5. Nordstrom Grill/Café- located inside Nordstrom stores (I like the one in Fashion Place the best.)

6. The Porcupine Grill- best Tomato Basil soup (Mondays) Love their house salad (I’ll share the dressing recipe I duplicated.)

7. Garden Café- dine in our out/buffet or menu at the Grand America

8. Blue Plate Diner- 2041 S. 2100 E. Great breakfasts

9. The Dodo- owned by same owners as Porcupine Grill -1355 E. 2100 S. Try their baked cream cheese with crackers or artichoke pie for an appetizer. Their salade de maison is perfectly light. Save room for the best Toll House Cookie Pie (Key Lime is a great second.)
